Re: Hash soup@de
Without having read up on all the web architecture stuff concerning
representations, information resources, non-information resources
etc. yet, I would like to state a different opinion on RDF:
You say "Yet graphs denoted by RDF documents do not correspond to the resource things/documents themselves, they are (at best) statements about the things/documents." and "What we're usually interested in is a representation of a resource, not a representation of a description of a resource."
I think RDF graphs actually *can* be direct representations, i.e. pure data, and not only representations of a description, i.e. metadata. Consider encoding your blog post in RSS / AtomOWL / SIOC, putting all the text in there. Then you have not only described the post, like who wrote it when and which title it has, but by providing the text you have a full representation of the data (well, at a given time), the actual resource.
What do I get wrong here?@de
